The 80 GSM Difference — Understanding Silk Weight and Comfort

The Technical Side of Luxury When shopping for silk, we often focus on color and design. But the true connoisseur knows that the feel of the saree is determined by its weight, measured in "GSM" (Grams per Square Meter). This number defines the fabric's density, durability, and drape. A heavy, opulent Banarasi might be 200 GSM, while a "tissue silk" might be as low as 40 GSM. For Mysore Crepe, there is a "sweet spot" that defines its signature flow and comfort.

Challenges in Fabric Knowledge

• GSM is "Jargon": Most shoppers are unaware of what GSM means, making it hard to compare sarees online.

• Weight vs. Quality: Many assume "heavier" means "better quality," which is not true. A heavy, stiff fabric may be poorly woven or use inferior yarn.

• The "Too Flimsy" Fear: Customers seeking lightweight sarees worry that the fabric will be transparent, flimsy, or tear easily.

• The "Too Heavy" Burden: Other "crepe" sarees on the market are blended and heavy, defeating the purpose of choosing crepe for comfort.

Our Solution: The Turaja 80 GSM Standard Our signature collection of Mysore Crepe Sarees is standardized at 80 GSM. This is not a random number; it is the result of decades of perfection.

• The Perfect Weight: At 80 GSM, the fabric is substantial enough to be opaque and durable, yet incredibly lightweight and airy.

• Unmatched Drape: This specific weight allows the crepe to "flow" and drape beautifully, hugging the body's curves without clinging or bunching.

• All-Season Comfort: It is the ideal all-weather fabric—breathable enough for a Bangalore summer, yet rich enough for a winter wedding.
